In B.C., provincially, there is the Liberal party, and the NDP. Those are your choices (bar spoiler parties). So it is common that many Federal Liberal party supporters would feel a greater affinity for the B.C. Provincial NDP tan the B.C. Liberal party. And I bet many British Columbians, even BC NDP party members, would not want stronger cooperation between the federal NDP and its B.C. Provincial counterpart.

I vote NDP (mostly) provincially, Liberal federal. I don't feel conflicted about it either. I don't feel I'm being mushed between two folds.

It's funny that some federal NDP supporters, like Dana, are so lord-of-the-flies tribal.
